Yes it's an iris. Now can someone tell me about a bottle I found while walking in the woods with my dog. Has anyone heard of Del iris and what beverage did they produce? The front label says- Del iris Beverages
and the back- Contents 12 Fluid Ounces of Superb Quality Made From Finest Ingredients Obtainable
